Chicken or Turkey a La King
"BC's Back to Homemade.
I can never find this recipe when I want it as it's not something I memorized. It's a great retro dish however, served over puff pastry shells or toast points. Perfect for brunch, especially after Thanksgiving."

This is a nice basic recipe that goes to together quickly. The mushrooms were rehydrated shitake mushrooms and in place of the mushroom liquid, some extra chicken stock was added in. For me, this recipe has to much flour and leaves a floury aftertaste. I would look at reducing the flour to about half. This was served over puff pastry shells with a side salad.
